Education and Research

Established in 1992, our residency program has a long tradition of training leaders in emergency medicine with unsurpassed clinical training, an innovative curriculum, and an outstanding mix of advancement opportunities in research, education, global health, and community service.

The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, which formerly had a small, 8-year Bachelors/MD curriculum has in recent years moved to accepting standard students and the class size is increasing to 120 per year. This high quality, forward-thinking medical school provides bright and talented students who are educated and mentored by our faculty, fellows, and residents through our popular emergency medicine elective as well as a number of other courses and electives.

The Pediatric Emergency Medicine section is the home of our Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship program, which trains 2 fellows each year in a three-year fellowship.

The Department has a diverse and successful research enterprise with two basic science laboratories and a full infrastructure to support clinical research. We have 4 research faculty PhD’s in the Department who work collaboratively with our physicians in cutting edge emergency medicine research.

Academic and Clinical Excellence

The many divisions and programs in the Department support the academic mission and provide outstanding training experiences for fellows, residents, and medical students.
